Diaz Dennis speaks

Patricia Diaz Dennis, AT&T senior vice president and assistant general counsel, tonight will deliver the keynote address at the annual reception of the University of Texas at San Antonio’s American Humanics program.

Before people get their knickers in a twist wondering why a telecom exec is speaking in front of a group of people who aspire to run nonprofits, it might be good explain a little more about Diaz Dennis’ background. Namely that — in addition to working for AT&T — she chairs Girl Scouts ot the USA and served as an FCC commissioner during the Reagan Administration.

The event starts at 6 p.m. and will take place at the UTSA Downtown Campus’ Durango Building, Southwest Room. It’s free and open to the public.
